Chapter 491: Four Hundred and Fifty Million
Chapter 491: Four Hundred and Fifty Million
"First, there are two individuals we should pay special attention to."
Brandew took out two bounty posters and placed them on the eyes of the Image Telephon, and two posters appeared side by side on the screen.
The first was a man with short red hair, his mugshot displaying a playful expression. The second was a woman with snow-white skin and long brown hair, tilting her cheek as if gazing at something, her eyes cold and determined.
"These two are from the original Garess, the Kingdom Guard of New Ohara. 'Warrior of Destiny' Sifer, a dual-blade user, defeated five core members of Big Mom's crew during the Totland battle and single-handedly destroyed three ships."
"The 'Wind-Chasing General' Misty, a Devil Fruit user with air manipulation abilities, destroyed twice as many ships as the former during the Totland battle. She is extremely dangerous."
"These two have been well-known in the New World, but they have always operated under the guise of their country's security officers, so they haven't drawn much attention. Now that they have joined the Cataclysm Pirates, we must consider their strength and level of danger."
The numbers below the two bounty posters had already caught everyone's attention.
"Three hundred million belli!"
Brandew exclaimed, "Although this initial bounty amount is unusual, considering they are subordinates of a Four Emperor and displayed dangerous abilities during the battle against the Four Emperors, this price is justified!"
The Navy officers present had varying expressions of gloom and anger, but none voiced any objections. They silently memorized the names of these two individuals.
"The Cataclysm Pirates engaged in the battle as a whole crew, but there are key figures we must highlight. The danger assessment of the other pirates will be directly issued as bounty posters, although they are all evil. However, the source of this evil is what we should truly focus on!"
Brandew took a deep breath and produced a stack of bounty posters, allowing the Image Telephon to scan them one by one and project them onto the screen.
The first three to appear were Hawkins, Urki, and Akim.
"The Cataclysm Seven Stars!"
Brandew turned to glance at the three bounty posters on the screen and said, "The 'Phantom' Akim fought Charlotte Owen in the Totland battle, resulting in a draw. His previous bounty of five hundred and fifty million belli has been increased to six hundred and fifty million."
Although Charlotte Owen's bounty is only three hundred million, it's due to his low-key nature and lack of perceived danger. His actual strength is exceptional.
A draw against such an opponent warrants an increase of one hundred million.
"The 'Magician' Basil Hawkins and the 'Monster Monk' Urki together defeated one of the Three Generals, Cliff. According to intelligence, the battle was not difficult, which is to be expected from pirates with bounties exceeding six hundred million. Their danger level has significantly increased."
"Based on the assessment, each of their bounties will be increased by two hundred million belli!"
The two bounty posters had already been updated. Hawkins' bounty rose from six hundred and seventy million to eight hundred and seventy million, while Urki's increased to eight hundred and sixty-six million belli.
No one thought these amounts were excessive, given that they belonged to a pirate crew that had absorbed another Four Emperor's crew. Even if they weren't the primary core members, these bounties were justified.
Brandew removed the bounty posters and replaced them with three new ones.
A blonde-haired girl with big waves, a black-haired beauty with a gentle smile, and a pink-haired, fanged, short-tempered loli. The Navy officers were all too familiar with these three women.
For now, let's set aside the blonde-haired girl and focus on Renetia, the mischievous little devil. Her recent actions have been quite significant.
Not long ago, it was revealed that the abandoned research base on Punk Hazard was secretly being used. Smoker discovered this and also found evidence of transactions between the island and the Cataclysm Pirates.
Renetia's destruction of the research facility was due to the exposure, nearly blowing up the entire island in the process.
Those who understood remained silent, while those who didn't quite grasp the situation found solace in the typical pirate behavior.
After all, pirates were capable of anything.
"Hammer" Renetia, during the Totland battle, defeated Charlotte Perospero and destroyed a large number of Big Mom Pirate Crew's warships. Despite her young age, her exceptional research, inventions, and formidable Devil Fruit abilities were well-known.
"Her original bounty was 755,000,000, and now it has increased by 200,000,000, reaching 955,000,000!"
At just twelve years old, her bounty was close to breaking the 1 billion mark!
This was far more astonishing than the Straw Hat Kid. The Navy was shocked, but it wasn't entirely unbelievable, as there was more to come.
"Raven" Mariya, with an original bounty of 738,000,000, also showcased her danger during the Totland battle, destroying many of Big Mom's warships.
"Her monstrous strength is unmatched, and she even defeated Charlotte Sumugi. This power must be taken seriously, especially considering her defeat of a Three-Star General and the destruction of most of the ships."
"Her bounty is now 1,038,000,000!"
The Totland battle, while being a clash between the Four Emperors, also showcased the strength of those below them. For the Navy, Mariya was undoubtedly a formidable force.
As for the last one...
"Previously in the Blue Nation, she forced Marco to flee, and now in Totland, she defeated Katakuri. Since her debut in the East Sea, she has been spreading evil alongside Calamity. In fact, she is even more representative than Calamity, as she has never experienced defeat!"
"Sword Maiden" Beydeta Lily, with an original bounty of 1,436,000,000, has now increased to 1,500,000,000!"
The increase wasn't significant, but at her level, any rise in bounty was noteworthy.
Katakuri's bounty was only 1,057,000,000, and the original Sword Maiden defeating him wasn't extraordinary. Without further demonstrations of danger, her bounty wouldn't have increased.
However, her reputation had already spread far and wide, especially during the World Conference.
The Sword Maiden was a prime example, just like the Straw Hat Kid causing chaos on the high seas. Interestingly, her bounty matched that of the Straw Hat Kid, who had also received a bounty increase.
Otherwise, Moria and Wapol's bounties should have increased as well. However, the Navy deemed their performance in Totland worthy of their current bounties, so no adjustments were made.
"But they aren't the most crucial."
Brandew removed the bounty posters, not even allowing the Telephon Cricket to read them. He slammed the poster onto the screen.
"This is the most important one!"
The person on this bounty poster was the true embodiment of evil.
"Infiltrating the Kingdom of Totland, single-handedly defeating one of the Four Emperors, Big Mom, and subjugating her pirate crew, has increased the tension on the high seas to the point where even children are silenced!"
"Cataclysm! Norton Saga, with an original bounty of 3,695,000,000, now has a bounty of..."
...
"4,500,000,000."
Inside the Doom Star, Lily held Saga's bounty poster and said, "Saga, your bounty has increased the most."
